Generic Edge Devices and Reports
Introduction
You can import Generic Exception Reports which can be associated with either cameras or
Generic Devices within victor to associate video data with report data.
Generic Edge Devices must be configured within the client before reports can be created to
associate victor video with report data.
Generic Edge Devices
These devices are hardware objects which are added to victor for reference only. They enable you
to associate cameras so that when generic exception reports are run, you can view video aligned
with report data.
victor does not poll these devices for status, the only meaningful reference which links the device
to reports is the External Identifier which maps to the report.
Associated camera views can be accessed by right clicking on the objects in the device list and
selecting View.
Generic Exception Report Requirements
At a minimum, exception reports must:
• Be in Row-Column Format
• Be either .csv, .txt, .xls or .xlsx file format
• Contain columns for Date, Time and Generic Edge Device
• List exceptional transactions
Any other information the report may contain will be imported and displayed but is not required for
the import to be successful.
Three types of rows are supported:
• Key row (one) - The first row of the report. This row names the columns in the
report
• Terminal rows (one or more). Contain the transaction data
• Group rows (one or more). Used to link together terminal rows
